For me it's mostly animation style. There was this one anime with supposedly the "highest quality" animation ever since it was completely hand drawn. Watched it for 3 minutes, complete crap.

I don't watch anime about cute girls doing cute things (Azumanga, Lucky Star, K-On!) because I usually find such shows boring.

I usually don't avoid an anime because of stupid reasons. Wow, some reasons here are really dumb, lol. I guess that I won't watch any more of Hitman Reborn because of the weird chibi baby things and their horrible voices might be considered a stupid reason by some. But I think it's a good reason.

I used to not watch sports anime because I don't like sports in real life. Then one day I realised how retarded I was being and tried some. Now Major and Big Windup are some of my all time favourite anime. All ye anti-sport people, suck it up and watch Major. Do it now.

I just can't tolerate anime full of chibi girls.
Dropped Lucky Star because that anime was full of girls and that also chibi...

Fairy Tail because they added in the magic circle things when they cast magic. Not only that I feel like they made it SLIGHTLY more childlike than the manga. That was off-putting so I stuck to the manga.

Most of these points were already brought up earlier in this thread. For me, I won't watch series that are 100+ in episodes such as Naruto. That's not to say I won't ever watch such shows later, but generally, I want to be done with a series in a week or less so that I can move onto another series fairly quickly because I just love being immersed into so many of what the anime realm has to offer without feeling stuck or obligated to finish a long drawn out series if I start one.
Also, fear of facing a multitude of filler episodes puts me astray from long series.

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

I used to never watch any non-english dub anime, because I thought that the voices were annoying, but that was the old me. I was ignorant and considered "bacon" or "whitewashed" those days.

I had refused to watch Fate/Zero because I liked Fate/Stay Night so much. I knew it was popular and people loved it but I couldn't imagine it without the Shiro, Saber love. Heck, I couldn't imagine a world without the purple haired sexy Rider or the super awsome Archer. :)
I came around eventualy and it turns out it was great.

Haruhi Suzumiya no Yuutsu - i felt it was stupid. I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes of the second episode and was half asleep in the first.

Durarara! - the name is f*cking annoying. But this was before, I'm watching it now.

Other than that, there is nothing really. I'm a pretty open minded guy, will try anything (except for Yaoi, I'm not gay) and see if it is good for myself.

I won't watch LOGH, Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho or Monster because, well, they're too long. I love the premise of the shows and I can see myself really enjoying them but I don't have enough time to watch them. I'd sooner watch a 12 episode moe show. The fact that I've watched all of A-Channel but none of these shows makes me feel incredibly sad. I will watch them eventually but I really don't have the time to be watching such long shows at the moment.

My brother says that he won't watch Sword Art Online because of the name. Not because of the plot holes and pacing issues, but because he doesn't like the name. He's not missing out on much but I just feel that his reasoning is stupid.

Campione! - I liked the first episode for the most part but when I went to watch the second episode the main girl's actions to the main guy was a complete 180 and I found that annoying.
Harukanaru Toki no Naka de: Hachiyou Shou - Felt like a rip off of Fushigi Yuugi.
Phi Brain - The show doesn't give me the chance to solve the problem before the main character.
Uta no☆Prince-sama - Their eyes are so creepy.

I can't watch Naruto .. I just can't get over the fact I remember my 11 year old brother watching it in the mornings on kids channels .. xD

@Olwen Steins;gate is .. a really good anime, while I'm sure your reasons are valid, Its definitely worth a watch though, although I found it to be really dragged out .. and did not expect a teary-eyed moment in it, its not the best but its fairly good.

One Piece, because my friend kept telling me how good it was and then I saw some of it and it didn't live up to my expectations =/

Dude, that's the same exact reason why I haven't watched it. I watched clannad + after story recently and I will assure you. You will get used to the art style, and you will tear up or cry. It's completely heartbreaking and I have never felt that type of depression since the time I watched 5 cm per second

Naruto. Back in the day, on Toonami, DBZ was the biggest thing. I loved DBZ. But once it was all over, it had to be replaced... by ninjas. When I was a kid to me nothing could replace DBZ, so I decided that I would never watch Naruto.

And I just can't make myself finish Stein's Gate because of two main devices for time travel: microwave and mobile phone, it's just kinda idiotic.

Okay well, while I couldn't explain why/how a microwave would be a time travel device, I'd say the cell phone part makes sense once you watch it. You have high ratings on your list, so I'd say you'll add this to your list too with a 8-10 :)

I'm not going to watch Queen's Blade because the characters don't seem to be aware of how exposed they are most of the time. When you're showing skin that much you might as well make it a hentai except this anime isn't a hentai.

Granted I've only watched 5 minutes of the first episode but that's enough to tell me "No."

That's kind of stupid as the characters are very aware of how much they are showing either on purpose or by accident. A couple of characters get ashamed/embarrassed while most don't give a shit. It's kind of like a sporting event or beauty pageant when the participants wear skimpy outfits, it's part of the process. The viewers typically don't obsess over it because they expect it.

Then put the blame where it should be. The fact that someone has limited internet usage is the bad thing and the length of OP is completely unrelated as I highly doubt Oda is making OP long just to spite those that have limited internet access.

I think you misunderstand. The reason I don't watch OP is due to the art style + length + plot. They don't appeal to me. I replied that it isn't a good thing that an anime is long if you have limited internet usage.


Good thing this is the stupid reasons topic then.
